LEGITIMACY DECLARATION ACT (IRELAND) 1868 - SECT 2

Power to apply for declaration of right to be deemed a subject.

2. Any person being so domiciled or claiming as aforesaid may apply by
petition to the said Court for a decree declaratory of his right to be deemed
a ... subject of Her Majesty; and the said Court shall have jurisdiction to
hear and determine such application, and to make such decree thereon as to the
Court may seem just; and where such application as last aforesaid is made by
the person making such application as herein mentioned for a decree declaring
his legitimacy or the validity of a marriage, both applications may be
included in the same petition; and every decree made by the said Court shall,
except as herein-after mentioned, be valid and binding, to all intents and
purposes, upon Her Majesty and all persons whomsoever.

Ss.35 rep. by 1962 c.30 s.30 sch.4 Pt.IV; 1978 c.23 s.122(2) sch.7 Pt.I
